KALIRI MALIN’LEH AHERNAN

THE SPRING EQUINOX FESTIVAL

 

 

 

Spring has come, and with it the harmonic cycle we are all bound to begin anew. The Gods have been kind to us this season, for our woodland home has prospered, and the laughter of children has filled our halls. Such is the blessing of the Springmother and her eternal servant, Mother Bear Bolormormaa. As it was at the very first Omentahu, we celebrate the coming of this most auspicious season with song, dance, and a contest to honour the Old Gods of the Woods. 

 

WHERE

The Wood Elven Village of Siramenor

To the left of Aegrothond and down its coastline

 

WHEN

Sunday, April 26th, 7 PM EST

 

 

BEAR MOTHER RITE

The festival will begin with a sacred ritual of offering and prayer to Bolomormaa, the Bear Mother. We shall offer our libations to the sacred spirit for the health and longevity of our youngest children, and those who have yet to be born.

 

ARCHERY CONTEST

All itinerant mali’ame warriors and their guests will have an opportunity to prove their worth with our most sacred instrument: the bow. A field of targets will be set up, and whoever strikes all of them in succession and the fastest will win the regalia mask of Morea, the Wolf Prince of Warriors, as proof of their skill as a marksman.

 

FEASTING

Our hunters will have been gathering game day and night for our great festival. When prayers and game have finished, we will have a spread of nature’s bounty. Fill your bellies with traditional mali’ame cuisine and make your minds silly with firewater. All is fair in love and ceremony!
